sLAiNE.s PILGRIMAGE.
The Delightful Programme Arranged ~
Names Pfumed knight


1t seems that all Mr.. James q.
Blaine's health needs is voyage
across the Atlantic, 1t is expected
| that the salt ocean breezes will tone up
his system to endure the political
SQUALLS of the next eighteen months
and that the boom he will get By cable
will be more efficacious with politicians
and voters than any manipulation pos
sible from Bar Harbor. To this end it
is given out that Mr.. Blaine and his
factotum, Joe Manley, ex-postmaster
of Augusta, Me-, will sail for England.
The only health seeking part OF the
trip will be that on shipboard- When
the party lands at Liverpool the man
ayers of the circus will have arranged
a spontaneous outpouring of the peo-
pie to welcome the only genuine
plumed knight of American clubbing
who ever sought those monarchist
shores. His journey from Liverpool
to London will be voluntary ovation
all along the line.
In the metropolis Mr.. Blaine will be
invited to eat at Democratic dinners
and to speak at home-rule meetings.
OF course the matter of his public ut
terances will be made as offensive to
English ears as possible in order to
arouse the bitterest criticism, which will
be promptly cabled to the New York
Tribune to show the brutal manner in
which bloody Britons" handle a ia
vorite son of Maine. When the indig-
nation of the English public has been
sufficiently aroused an l this country
has been narrowed with the reports of
frequent attempts to mob Mr.. Blaine
he will shake the dust of London from
his feet and cross the channel to Ire
land.
Before doing so, however, Mr.. Blaine
will meet Gladstone. and, having fall
en- on his neck, the grand old man
will be chained to the plumed knights
chariot wheel for a triumphal tour OF
the Green Isle. No effort will be
spared to induce Mr.. Parnell to ac-
company Mr.. Blaine on his tour.
Should this combination be effected it
is expected that the aggregation will
produce nothing short of a CONFUSION
in Ireland, the mere vibration of which
will awaken the widest enthusiasm
for Mr.. Blaine among Irish-Ameri-
cans.
This is a very delightful programme.
to be sure. And there can be no doubt
that it will land Mr.. Blaine in the
White House if all the Irish voters in
America turn Republicans and all who
are Republicans now vote for Mr..
Blaine. But there is an ominous shadow
of doubt in that ..if - Chicago NeWs.

WHY YOUNG MEM FAIL.
n Ministers Address Which COatains Much
Practical ADVICE


Practical Advice.
A good sized audience listened to the
address of Rev. w. y Urmy, pastor of
the First Methodist Church, at the
Young Mems Christian Association
Hall His subject wass- THE Failures
of Young Men, and Why"
1.-The reasons may all, ~ safd he, ''be
gathered into three groups; self-indul-
genee, false business methods. and de:
fectS of character.
Under the first group narDy be named
indOJence, drunkenness, love of pleas
ure, lust, gambling and carl-playing.
The young man whD suffers himself to
indulge in these vices will almost sure
ly bar the way to success. in life. If he
succeeds at all the chances Of his sue
cess will be much less than if he had
kept himself clear from their indul-
genee.
Under the second guUnp may be
mentioned dishonesty, framing into
deBa, becoming security. gullibility or
toe. great readiness to. believe what
others may tell us, selection of bad
partners, penuriousness,. EnattentiOn TO.
business and oppression Of the poor
Ale these are false methods of business
and are potenj causes in inducing fail
ure. The man who would succeed
mast be scr4pulOusly honest, must
keep out of debt. must not contract
the habit of going BAD, must depend
largely upon his own judgment and
not upon the advice Of others, must
avoid all Immoral partners, be gene
in nrixrs at his axrin RI
good causes and must be attentive to
business ana kind to- the poor.
Lastly. there are some detects OF
character, which are fatal to success
Among these may be mentioned, lack
of tact, sAiftlessnesS or lack O2 energy,
aimlessness, tardi1ess, Impotence. I'M
willingness to take advice, cArelessneSS
in speech, abstruSiveness, pride and an
unamiahle disposition. No matter how
correcs the habits of life and methods
of business may be, failure will be the
results if the defects of character named
arc possessed in any marked degree.
To good habits and methods must be
added tact, aim, purpose and amiabil-
ity-
-+One-half the business successes of
life are won by the constant exhibition
Of sincere desire to please.
''In short, attend to your character.
Make and keep it pure, and you have
the foundation upon which all lasting
success must be built. All the rules L
have given you are found in the Prov
cribs of Solomon. advise yen to get
copy of them, read them once through
monthly and make them the man of
your counsel in the business affairs of
life. There is no better. no safer, no
surer guide. Follow their words Of
wisdom, and success will crown youI
efforts "-SGR francisco Gall

An Indiana farmer, who told his
boys to burn every humble bees nest
they found on the farm, and who mas
complaining at the failure of his clover
seed crop, was surprised when Maurice
Thompson. the naturalist, said: THAT
is why Your clover seed fails YOU
BUNDLE bees make your clover seed.
1t is a fact that strong nest of humble
bees in big clover field is worth
twenty dollars to the owner; for these
insects are the chief agents in fertiliz-
ing the blossoms. thereby insuring a
heavy crop of seed. In Australia there
are no humble bees of our kind, and
they could not raise clover seed there
until they had imported some.-M 7

London Press Comments.

The Daily News, commenting upon
the death of Beecher says: "He leaves
no system either of theology or of
church government. His influence, ex-
cept as q personal recollection ends with
his life. He was for America the great
expositor Of his time. He was
great preacher, and did nothing but
preach"
The Telegraph says: "No preacher,
no platform orator in America, put more
intensity of heart into his discourses
Than the man whose clarion voice rung
every Sunday i'll Plymoth Church. With
all his faults-and they were many-lt
is doubtful if America will ever produce
another BcPcher."'
The Standard say: "Beecher was
one of comparatively. few Americans
enjoying o. wor!d-wi1e reputation.
Having peculiarly exceptional gifts for
the ministry, his capacity for work was
amazing"

HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

The Carson Tribune of the 9th instant
speaks of the world renowned preacher
As follows: IF
No one, not his most intimate friend,
if he profess to be an orthodox Christ
ian, will dare the assertion that the
deceased was entitled to that appella-
tion and yet oil admired the great aLil-
ity of the man, but there respect for him
ceased among those referred to. We
have never read of Mr.. Beecher's chart
table acts, although he received, for
Years the highest salary as preacher in
the United States or Europe, with per-
haps the exception of the Archbishops
and Bishops Of the Church of England,
but still he may have been more unos-
tentntious in alms-giving than in point
ing the way to, and picturing the pearly.
gates of Heaven to his hearers. But
with all his failings, and who is without
them, deceased was q wonderful, q great
Imam, and rs long as his name is men
toned he will be spoken Of as America 3
